National Park Junior Ranger Podcast

Today, we’re heading to the eastern edge of the American Midwest and the southern shore of Lake Erie to explore one of only two truly urban national parks in the United States — Cuyahoga Valley National Park; Ohio's only national park. In this episode we discuss some of the fascinating features of the park, some plants and animals, learn about the history of the park, complete an activity from the junior ranger program, discuss the geology, and have some recommendations for exploring the park.  

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids; it's for the young, and the young at heart!

Today, we’re heading to a unique setting where land and earth are still being formed. Over 2,400 miles southwest of the U.S. mainland lies Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Located on the Island of Hawaiʻi, commonly known as the Big Island, this incredible landscape takes us far from the familiar scenery of the continental United States and into a world shaped by fire, ocean, and time. In this episode we discuss some of the fascinating features of the park, some plants and animals, learn about the history of the park, complete a junior ranger activity, discuss the geology, and have some recommendations for exploring the park.  

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids; it's for the young, and the young at heart!
